Jan, Ryan, Barbara, and others, I'm pleased to see you looking into the Wayne Co. connection again. Something may click with my line. As I see it, my Geo. W. could be a son of either George W. (AL, IL but I don't see how); Henry (who married a Canady... one of Georges' sons married a Canady); Enoch, who was in the Sinking Creek area (I think I saw that somewhere); or James. BTW, there is a beautiful little valley on Sinking Creek which has a Primitive Baptist Church founded in the early 1800's. A Nevels..illes may have been one of the charter members.
